That website has got it right about the O's stubborn refusal to enter the digital age and get itself a proper site on the internets. Finding anything on the OLive.com site is a true exercise in frustration.
That being said, even newspapers that DO have a decent website are in trouble. I've got some good friends in the newspaper/print media biz, and I feel badly for all of them.

True, that, but they are arguably better positioned to survive than the O.
Someday, probably sooner than we know, daily print newspapers will be a rarity.
Smart publishers are hedging their bets with internet media (c.f. the Washington Post).
Newhouse's Web properties all follow the same template as O-Live, which is to say they suck (no reflection of the staff that works at O-Live, by the way).
